Our offense is pretty young as well
Our o-line has 2 young guards and 2 young tackles on top of 3 pro bowl vets

The future looks bright at WR with Hopkins, Martin and posey(assuming he gets back)

Schaub, Foster Daniels and Johnson are older but assuming we have a smooth transition at QB in 3-4 years I think we can sustain success for the next 10 years, I'll call 8 play off trips in the next 10 seasons

That's a huge assumption...

i agree, more or less i was just pointing out that that will be the turning point in our franchise in a few years. i suspect we miss out on the playoffs once or twice while trying to get it figured out

unless we go the route of the 49ers and draft a replacement before Schaub is finished and make a transition and trade Schaub for something.

If this years draft had been in 2-3 years i would imagine we would have drafted a QB in round 3 with the way some decent ones were falling

They fell this year cause the class sucked, next year should be a solid class with Bridgewater, Boyd, Fales, McCarron, Thomas, even Franklin and Price from Mizzou and Udub respectively

I think in the long haul, this year's class will be more successful than next year's class. Sure, Bridgewater is a monster, but Tajh Boyd is not an NFL QB (if you think they tore apart Cam Newton's character, wait until they start digging around for dirt on Tajh Boyd), McCarron is a product of the system he is in, and the others are not worth mentioning as NFL prospects. At least three of the Glennon/Wilson/Barkley/Nassib/Smith/Jones group will be average to above-average NFL starters, which isn't something you find in every draft._________________

Manziel is going to be a pro QB next year as well, im not sure how he will do, but if he shows up at the combine and is over 6ft he will be top 15....watch for the Eagles_________________2014 Adopt-A-Texan

I'm hoping it means that Martin and Jean have truly tremendously improved and Hopkins is who we thought he was. I seem to recall Kubiak gushing over Martin last year, and he didn't seem ready for the big stage at WR or KR, while Posey was said to be behind the curve and looked much better when he hit the field.

I think this is more of a political move to make Hopkins work harder, and let the others know that they still have a chance, which hardly seems true considering college production, pro-readiness, and composure in high pressure situations. However, we all know Kubiaks history of starting rookies on offense.

Texans LCB Kareem Jackson reported to OTAs at 208 pounds, 16 pounds heavier than his listed playing weight last season.
As the Houston Chronicle's Lance Zierlein points out, that's far too heavy for a 5-foot-10 cornerback. The Texans will likely want Jackson to get back under 200 by the time training camp rolls around. Jackson graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 13 corner last season, and he's entering his fourth year.

There is no doubt in my mind that Hopkins will start week 1 unless he is injured. The quote is just trying to motivate him more.

The 2nd year guys should be ahead of him for now while he learns the system. If he already was doing better playbook wise than 2nd year guys either he is really smart or we drafted someone not putting in the time a year ago_________________My Teams

He did take a cart to the locker room. Although the injury doesn't appear to be serious, coach Gary Kubiak said "it's always concerning. We'll see what's wrong, see what happens." Andre Johnson added "If it was serious, we'd know it. This wasn't serious." The Texans won't be in a rush to get Foster back on the field for OTAs, but he'll likely be fine with a few days rest.
